African American Golf History can be traced back to the 1800s with landmark contributions such as John Shippen Jr., the first American born professional golfer, and Dr. George Grant, first to be awarded a United States Patent for a wooden golf tee invention.

But after over a century, this rich history is still not recognized as an integral part of the history of golf or American history.

It is our goal to add more clarity and understanding to a little known history that has so much value and significance, and deserves its rightful place in history.
